About this listen

 When a suicide, overdose, or traumatic death happens in the workplace, the response in the first 48 hours can either stabilize the organization or unintentionally increase harm.Yet most workplaces have no clear postvention plan.In this Headspace for the Workplace conversation, Dr. John Gaal brings together lived experience, labor leadership, and research to explain why postvention is the missing leg of the three-legged stool of workplace mental health: prevention, intervention, and postvention.Drawing from decades of workforce development, construction industry data, and peer-reviewed research, this episode explores:
  • What actually helps people in shock
  • Why EAPs are often underutilized in crisis
  • How trained peer supporters serve as “mental health first responders.”
  • Why partnerships — not silos — save lives

We talk about what leaders must do when the unthinkable happens.
